Take part in a spooky action at the arms dealers’ ghoulish dinner. High-level arms dealers and arms dealing civil servants are meeting at the Tower of London for a £200-a-head dinner to “Raise [their] profile” and “forge and strengthen strategic alliances”.
They’ve chosen a ghoulish location for their dinner, so let’s haunt them as they arrive! Feel free to come in the most ghoulish costume you can find and help spread the word.

Join us outside the constituency office of Business Secretary Vince Cable MP, who is responsible for licensing arms exports.
